Defending Against Burglary Charges In Georgia

Under Georgia law, burglary is defined as entering a dwelling or other premises with the intent to steal property or commit another crime. A defendant does not have to actually steal property to be found guilty of burglary. It is the intent that matters, although burglary charges are often accompanied by theft allegations when a person is alleged to have stolen property.

Burglary is typically charged as a felony and carries penalties ranging from one to 20 years in prison. If you have been charged with burglary in Georgia, Philip Kim Law, P.C., can provide you with skilled defense representation. We handle a broad range of criminal law matters for clients in Lawrenceville and throughout surrounding Georgia communities.

Proving Burglary Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

In order to get a burglary conviction, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you unlawfully entered the property with the intent to commit theft or another crime. Intent can be tricky to prove, especially if there are valid and legal reasons for you to be in the store, house, garage or other premises.
